About Us

I have had the pleasure of fitting women who have had breast surgery, with prostheses and bras since 2007. My husband and I moved to Roanoke in 2010 to open the shop. I keep up to date with the latest products and training by attending expos, seminars, and symposiums annually. Most recently, I attended the Essentially Women Conference in Tampa, Florida May 2022 and POWER Symposium in Las Vegas March 2022. There have been so many changes in the industry each year. We have new technology and products to help make women’s journey through breast surgery, and beyond, easier. When a woman has the diagnosis of breast cancer, she does not know what to expect. I will take them through the process from the beginning. Initially, they will need post-surgery garments that hold drain bulbs, then they move into regular bras and prostheses after about six weeks. The doctor will let them know when to come to our facility and get their fittings. We work closely with the surgeons, oncologists and others in the medical community for the best possible outcome for the patient. It is a rewarding job to help women feel whole again after breast surgery.

I joined the Second to Nature team in January 2019. I am a certified mastectomy fitter. I am also a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed in 2025.  Before working here, I didn’t even know that such a wonderful place existed for women who have faced the trial of having beast cancer.  To me, its like a sunny spot in a survivor’s journey.  My favorite part of my job is meeting all of the courageous women that com into our office and their supporters.  Their stories and positive attitudes inspire me.  I also appreciate working with a team of individuals who are dedicated to treating each person that walks our door with dignity, respect, and compassion.

I have been a dedicated member of the Second to Nature team since June 2017, starting my journey as a receptionist. Driven by a desire to provide the best care for our patients, I became certified as a Mastectomy Fitter in January 2020. In that role, I devoted time and positive energy to sourcing and fitting the optimal post-surgery products. My commitment to cutting-edge patient solutions included utilizing 3D scanning technology to create customizable breast forms for
individuals recovering from mastectomy, lumpectomy, and reconstruction. Now, I leverage my deep understanding of patient needs in the billing and claims department, ensuring you can easily access the products you need and deserve.  I continue to learn the profound emotional, physical, and psychological toll cancer can take, I consider it my honor to assist women in regaining their confidence and actively re-engage with their families, friends, and careers. And I find immense joy and inspiration in witnessing the strength, courage, and love these women demonstrate each day.

Hi there! I’m Whitney, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Second to Nature team. With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist, I’m eager to continue my passion for working with people. I’m currently on the path to becoming a certified mastectomy fitter, and I’m excited to be part of this amazing team. I love the positive impact we have on our patients, and I’m so grateful to be part of this mission. My husband is a firefighter here in Roanoke County, and we have two energetic boys, Owen and Noah, at home. I can’t wait to meet all of you and share this journey together!

Hi I’m Sky, the newest addition to the team. I am the other receptionist here at Second to Nature. I have to say that in the short time I have been here it’s been such a pleasure getting to know every patient that walks through our doors. One of my favorite parts of being a receptionist here is when a patient comes back through our waiting room, after a successful appointment, with a bag full of products and smiles bigger than when they walked in! Each patient has their own story and trials. To be able to be a part of this amazing team who truly cares about your needs and a community of such strong, enduring women has truly been a wonderful and empowering experience! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!

Hi, I’m Sara! I’m one of the receptionists here at Second to Nature, and you’ll usually find me at the front desk checking in or answering the phone.  I recently joined the team ad love the uplifting environment in this office.  It’s inspiring to see women who have been through so much continue to persevere and maintain such a positive outlook.  It’s a privilege to be part of a place that supports them through their recovery.

Hello! I’m Nitajsha Edwards. I worked at Second to Nature for a brief period in 2022-2023 and came back in the summer of 2025. I call this office my happy place. I’m continually inspired by the remarkable women I meet and the family and friends who support them. In my role, I’m able to bring together the different facets of my personality. I’m an extrovert at heart, most energized when I’m engaging with others. I also thrive on creating structures that ensure compliance and strengthen systems and operations. So, to make that happen, I support our wonderful staff in any way I’m able. That support includes receptionist duties, claims and billing, and ensuring we meet the regulatory standards determined by Medicare and our accrediting body. Currently, I am working towards attaining the credentials to be a certified fitter. I am honored to be a part of this outstanding team that provides such a valuable service to the community.

My name is Brooke, you will find me at the front desk helping with the phone and reception, or I will be working in inventory, making sure we have everything you need.  I am very excited to welcome you into Second to Nature and help you feel comfortable, safe, and confident.

My wife, Rebecca, and I moved to Roanoke from Missouri in 2010. I’m happy to say I work in the office at Second to Nature. I also take care of any mailings or shipments we send to customers. We really like it here in the Roanoke Valley. It is beautiful, and the people have been great!

I help with logistical support, including office supplies, equipment, internet, networking, maintenance, and repairs to keep things running smoothly.  I joined the team when my wife Whitney became a fitter.  It is rewarding to me to know that when I do my job, the team can focus on their priority of great patient care.  I work fulltime for Roanoke County Fire and Rescue Department.  I look forward to dedicating even more time to Second to Nature after I retire from the fire department.
